Description
Content (description)
On a rock squats a nude youth, with one leg bent and flat on the ground. He leans against his other knee with his shoulder and raises his right arm to support a broad low 'base', which rests on his shoulders and neck. On this 'base' a bearded Silenus with a skin knotted round his shoulders sits facing the viewer on a full wineskin. The youth turns his head to look up at him.
